This video of the title track on Singing Fools' "goodbye, A&M!" mini-LP is an entertaining and offbeat time capsule of the 1980s featuring an expert remash of a Salvadoran tobacco company's bizarre promo film on how to market cancer sticks to the nation's already morbidly risk-prone youth market.

How an 18-wheel rig driver jockey could be relied on to outsmart them pesky Rooshin nuke-ya-lerr rockets is what this Singing Fools masterpiece from 1983's "CRUISIN''84" four-song E.P. is all about. It was a bygone era when Ronald Reagan was in office, and men were men, and the yahoos at the Pentagon thought it would be a good idea to disguise the location of MX missiles by haulin' 'em around like so many bags of Alpo from Phoenix to Provincetown, figgerin' the commies wouldn't figger...

This is the music video for what has since been touted as the first rap single ever released in Canada. First aired on Ottawa community radio station CKCU-FM in November 1982, "The Bum Rap" was inspired by American rappers Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five and the Canadian government's wage controls that were launched with the release of a lame promotional single called "The Six & Five Song" that was composed and performed by a government finance minister. As for...

Arguably as tragic a concert event as the 1969 Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway in December 1969, this 2013 benefit performance by the erstwhile Canadian prime minister with his truly talentless backing band, Herringbone, featured a slew of coldblooded crimes against your classic rock faves, and the only Canadian rock drummer ever to be registered with the American Federation of Musicians and the national sex offenders' registry. A true musical comedy!

Released in time to be the unofficial theme song of the 2012 Russian Federation presidential election campaign! A timeless (slightly modernized) musical account of that unsavory and enigmatic Russian political wizard who ascended to the soaring heights of political power only to see his patented black magic eventually run out. A figure first immortalized by the noble dopes of the Romanov aristocracy over a century ago and brought back to the second of many lives by the 1970s disco powerhouse,...

POTUS 45 in a 120 second compressed "highlight reel" of the Trump Presidency's inaugural press conferences at which no questions were asked and no answers given. A win-win situation. The former President conveniently fails to acknowledge that Hillary Clinton actually won the 2016 presidential contest.

From their self-inflicted, self-recorded, self-produced and self-important mini-album, Call Me Lucky, by those incomparable Ottawa vocal sensationalists, Singing Fools. A rare, video and audio "ALL AXXESS" pass to the unsung heroes who made these '80' entertainment iconographers the greatest non-performing singing duo in the history of recorded noise that we laughingly underdescribe as "alt-pop." Film footage from Internet Archive Moving Pictures industrial film archive.
